Awesome Blueberry Muffins

These blueberry muffins are one of my kids' favorites. The entire batch is usually gone within 24 hours.

I can't take any credit at all for the recipe - I got it from Food Network, which got it from Gourmet Magazine.  I just modified the directions a bit.

I highly recommend the online resource provided by Food Network - it is a big source of inspiration.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
1 3/4 cup sifted flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup blueberries
1 tablespoon flour for the blueberries

Directions:

I use a stand mixer for all of my baking, which makes very quick work of it.  Cream the butter and sugar. Add milk and egg and beat until smooth. While the mixer is running, add baking powder and salt.  Add the flour.  Mix until moistened. Toss the blueberries with flour and fold into the batter. Fill a well-greased muffin pan 2/3 full with the batter or use paper muffin liners. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.  Don’t overcook!

Tip: - you can tuck a 1/4 cup of ground flaxseed into each batch of muffins to add fiber and Omega-3.
